Check this first: Certain Acer laptops come with a built-in Webcam called the "Acer Crystal Eye." This Webcam is located in the center of your lid just above your LCD screen. Those models that possess this integrated Webcam also have a program with the same name. This "Acer Crystal Eye Webcam" program allows you to record video through your Webcam and save it on your hard drive.

Step 1
Click "Start," "All Programs," "Acer Crystal Eye Webcam" and click the program shortcut of the same name. This opens up the Webcam where you can see yourself, but it hasn't started recording yet.
Step 2
Click the video camera icon, which is the one second from the left under the video display. This starts recording the video.
Step 3
Click the video camera icon again to stop recording and save your video. You can also delete the video by clicking the clip's thumbnail on the bottom panel and clicking the trashcan icon.
Step 4
Locate the video file on your hard drive in your "My Videos" folder, which can be found inside your "My Documents" folder.

a. On the taskbar double-click the Camera Assistant Software icon , or from the Windows® Start menu, point to All Programs, Camera Assistant Software, and then click Camera Assistant Software. The Camera Assistant Toolbar location briefly displays on the desktop.

b. On the Camera Assistant Toolbar, click the Start Camera button and click on the icons on the software.

If the the above steps are not working, then follow the below steps:

You can reinstall the WebCam drivers from the Acer recovery management, to do so:

It should link to the proper place in your program files. This is the path specified for my icon. You might actually be able to copy and paste this into your icon properties and see if it works.

Otherwise, you should open Program Files in your C: drive and look for the Crystal Eye folder that has been installed since you re-installed it from acer/support. Find the executable in the crystal eye webcam folder that does start your webcam properly, and then when you've found it, right click on it and specify that you want to make a shortcut to it. Then take the shortcut that appears and move it over to your desktop to replace the disconnected icon that isn't working.

Sounds like you have a driver problem, go to acer.com, download the drivers for your make and model for the cam drivers, make sure you select the right O/S.. exp Windows Vista, Windows XP.... and so forth..
